4 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be WARNING used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the General Population in an uncontrolled environment. For compliance with FCC and IC RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions: 1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dbi. 2. The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 90 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 90 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 90 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. 3. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 200 centimeters away from the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards. CAUTION To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC and IC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC and IC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 0% of total radio use time ( 0% duty cycle ). Transmitting more than 0% of the time can cause FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX icon is displayed. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT switch. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn OFF the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. iii

5 INFORMATION EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ Votre radio Icom produit une énergie électromagnétique de radiofréquences (RF), en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue pour un AVERTISSEMENT «usage professionnel seulement» et classée comme tel, ce qui signifie qu elle doit être utilisée uniquement dans le cadre d un travail par des personnes conscientes des dangers et des mesures visant à minimiser ces dangers. Elle N EST PAS conçue pour une «utilisation grand public», dans un environnement non contrôlé. Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d IC en matière d exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire que l antenne soit installée conformément aux trois conditions suivantes: 1. Le gain de l antenne du radio émetteur ne doit pas dépasser 0 dbi. 2. Il faut que l antenne émettrice de cet appareil soit placée à l extérieur d un véhicule et tenue éloignée d au moins 90 centimètres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit véhicule, l antenne doit être placée sur le toit, n importe où dans l axe central du véhicule, afin de respecter une distance de 90 cm du bord le plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi éviter que les personnes présentes soient exposées. 3. Émettre uniquement lorsque les personnes à l extérieur du véhicule se trouvent à au moins la distance minimale recommandée de 200 cm de l antenne correctement installée. Cette distance de sécurité assurera que les personnes soient placées suffisamment loin d une antenne correctement fixée à l extérieur pour satisfaire aux exigences en matière d exposition aux RF, en vertu des normes de conformité applicables. MISE EN GARDE Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition à une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe dans les limites permises par la FCC et d IC pour une utilisation grand public, veuillez en tout temps respecter les directives suivantes: NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu une antenne appropriée y soit fixée, car ceci risque d endommager la radio et causer une exposition supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC et d IC. L antenne appropriée est celle qui est fournie avec cette radio par le fabricant ou une antenne spécialement autorisée par le fabricant pour être utilisée avec cette radio. NE PAS émettre pendant plus de 0 % du temps total d utilisation de l appareil («0 % du facteur d utilisation»). Émettre pendant plus de 0 % du temps total d utilisation peut causer une exposition aux RF supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC et d IC. La radio est en train d émettre lorsque le témoin du mode de transmission s affiche sur l écran ACL. La radio émettra si vous appuyez sur le bouton du microphone. Interférence électromagnétique et compatibilité En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de l énergie de RF qui peut provoquer des interférences avec d autres appareils ou systèmes. Pour éviter de telles interférences, mettez la radio hors tension dans les secteurs où une signalisation l exige. NE PAS faire fonctionner l émetteur dans des secteurs sensibles au rayonnement électromagnétique tels que les hôpitaux, les aéronefs et les sites de dynamitage. iv

6 PRECAUTIONS R DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. R DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage to the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 1 V DC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects protrude into the transceiver or into connectors on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock. R WARNING! ALWAYS use the supplied Black and red cables with fuse holders. After connecting the fuse holders, NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged. R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm. CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver. In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits, such as output power, idling current, and so on, might damage the expensive final devices. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment. CAUTION: NEVER install the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 30 C ( 22 F) or above +0 C (+10 F). The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas. DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces. DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don t actually desire to transmit. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may overheat the transceiver. Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. BE CAREFUL! If you use a linear amplifier, set the transceiver s RF output power to less than the linear amplifier s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will be damaged. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time. USE only the specified microphone. Other manufacturers microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-F8101 may damage the transceiver or microphone. During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may be obstructed. During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows directly onto it. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle s engine. When the transceiver s power is ON and your vehicle s engine is OFF, the vehicle s battery will soon become exhausted. Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the vehicle engine. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes. During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. Turn OFF the transceiver s power and/or disconnect the DC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for long period of time. KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP* requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dustprotection and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on. * Only when the supplied microphone is attached. v

24 SELCALL/ALE OPERATION Selcall or ALE Selcall uses a or -digit ID address and allows you to make individual or group calls. The ALE (automatic link establishment) is a system which automatically selects the best frequency for the time of day, destination and propagation, and establishes a communication link. The IC-F8101 ALE system compiles with basic requirements of FED-STD-10A. DDAvailable calls Selective call Selective call allows you to make individual or group calls using an individual ID (identification) assigned to each transceiver. Phone call Allows you to make a Phone call through a telephone interconnect service provider. Message call Allows you to exchange text messages of up to characters* with the intended ID station. * Icom Selcall: characters (upper case/lower case letters) Open Selcall: 32 characters (Only upper case letter) Send Position call Allows you to send your own position information to the intended ID station. Get Position call The Get Position call allows you to request the intended ID station to send its position information. Get Status call Requests an ID station to send radio status information including power supply voltage, signal strength, output power, VSWR, and so on. Stun call (Only Open Selcall) The Stun call disables the specified station from either transmitting and receiving. RFDS emergency call (Only Australian versions) The RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) emergency call uses a 2-Tone signal for an emergency call. Emergency call Allows you to send an emergency signal along with your own position information. The Icom Selcall uses Icom s original commands, and may not be compatible with other brands. Depending on the presetting, you can select the Open Selcall*. * The Open Selcall is compatible with other transceiver brands. Ask your dealer for details. Channel Test call The Channel Test call allows the user to determine the signal quality between their transceiver and a specific transceiver, before making individual or group calls.
